Actually, Rudolf, I hadn’t thought about it till now. I would have preferred a higher price, that’s true. However, this process is about space and consolidation and trying to figure out how to survive with less than 10,000 records, so I’m actually OK with the decision.

Al: I gather that, in retrospect, view the price you have obtained for Early Miles ($ 38.78), you would have preferred to keep the record. At least, I would. So
I just will keep 7025, 7168 plus the U.K. Esquire issue.

Well, that’s it folks ! All the LP’s have been sent off to good homes… Enjoy !

p.s. – ‘Bethellodge’ you got the last copy, and it should have already arrived… Drop me a line when you get a chance. (You should have my coordinates, although my e-mails may have been filtered at your end, so check your junk mail just in case ! Thanks)

Don-lucky – I’m in! I’m a late Coltrane fan. Resisted him for years and recently read the Ben Ratliff book to take figure out what it was I was resisting.

Now I’m hooked. And the Vanguard / Ole period is the most interesting to me now.

Don’t have a copy and would LOVE one. I’m in Canada as well. Al should have my address.

This is a cool thing you are doing.
🙂

Hey everyone it’s not too late… I still got a few of those great original Monaural press (orange / black label) copies of the John Coltrane classic Live at the Village Vanguard Again ! LP (Imulse A-9124)to give away FREE* to Jazz Collector patrons. I am in the process of packaging up the first few for a couple of lucky people, but would love to make just one trip to the post office next week if possible. Please send your coordinates to Al and I will send you a confirmation e-mail… Thanks !

I purchased several lps from bobdjukik from one of his earlier auctions. The prices were very moderate then and the condition of the records was extremely nice. So I assume he just have a lot of viewers and bidders around the world and a very good repuation, so some guys go crazy.
To Al and don-lucky:
have I ben lucky and answered fast enough to be a winner of one of the Coltrane LPs? I assume that al has my email-adress from this site – can you arange a transfer to don-lucky, so that he can send a Paypal invoice for shipping (I am in Germany)?

Geraint

You said what I am thinking. Don’t want to accuse anyone of anything — it could just be a crazy market. But something really appears “rotten in Denmark.”

I bought a bunch of LPs off the guy back in July 2008, the most expensive of which was $47 for an NM copy Hank Mobley’s The Flip which I thought was about right (& the exchange rate at $2:£1 was particularly favourable at the the time) & I was perfectly satisfied with the condition of the LPs received.
But these latest prices are crazy and I think it’s maybe the next case for Al Perlman PI.
To Don-Lucky:I’d love one of your copies of Vanguard Again if I’m not too late; I currently only have an 80s UK press. Al has my email; do you want to send me a Paypal invoice for shipping (I’m in the UK)?

Hey Michel. One thing they seem to have had was one or two of the same bidders on many of the jazz records. These two bidders were off the hook. It’s like they had a vendetta against each other and very little knowledge of available alternative sources (i.e. other auctions for the same records) and decided that Bobdjukic’s auctions were where they would make their stand against each other. The prices were so out of whack for the same records from other sellers. Been trying to come up with an explanation for days now. I doubt anything sinsiter occured here, as I know the seller has been a good seller of long standing on ebay. Perhaps the bidders are up to something? This is as interesting to me as the Nautiliso auctions.
